"The children didn’t hold back when asking their questions! Some even asking to be signed!"

A later post added: "Just a casual Saturday at the Pavilion when Ipswich Town Football Club Manager and former ‘Town’ player Kieran McKenna makes an appearance and talks tactics with the players!

"Well done everybody on a hugely successful 2023/24 season. We are lucky to have had a fantastic morning with one of the best."

McKenna also visited Fermanagh Cumann na mBunscol, who promote Gaelic games to young boys and girls in Fermanagh primary schools, receiving a copy of a book that recalls the early days of his playing career.
